Top 10 LinkedIn articles for women who want career success

I loved this email last week that I received from a former client.

“I just wanted to write you a note just to say thank you for helping me to come out of my shell and develop my business.”

That’s what I do. I help clever, smart ambitious women come out of their shell so that they can make a bigger impact – at work or in business.

The women that I talk to are smart and talented … they want to take their career or business to the next level. Or lead in a bigger way – more people, bigger projects, or more responsibility.

To get there, you need to be really confident about who you are, what you do and how you do it. And even if you don’t feel absolutely confident all the time, it’s about projecting confidence and expert authority: to your team, your peers, your management and your clients.

In today’s market, LinkedIn is one of the best tools to project your confidence and demonstrate your skills, talents and expertise.

Here then a selection of some of my popular articles on how to make the best use of LinkedIn. These have been written especially for ambitious women who want to play big, whether you’re in a career, on a career break or running your own business.
